So i have a Giga B550 board im trying to load sound drivers to, problem is no matter what i do installing the newest drivers, MS always override the driver with its own that is a year out of date, how is that possible!?
Im trying to install [6.0.9225.1] dated october 21, after restart even with internet off, i check and its [6.0.8881.1] dated Feb 2020!

Am i losing my mind?

I use this method on win 10 pro this should work on win 11 pro

1. Press Windows + R, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter to open Group Policy Editor.
2. Go to: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update -> Manage Updates offered from Windows Update.
3. Double-click the policy “Do not include drivers with Windows Updates” in the right window.
4. Click Enabled -> Apply -> OK to disable automatic driver updates in Windows 11. If you want to turn on the automatic driver updates again, you can get to the same window and choose Disabled option.

If you don't have pro you can edit the registry instead

1. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter to open Registry Editor.
2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows.
3. Right-click Windows and choose New -> Key. Name the new key WindowsUpdate.
4. Right-click WindowsUpdate and click New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the new value as ExcludeWUDriversInQualityUpdate. Double-click it and set its value to 1. This will stop Windows 11 automatic driver updates. To enable the automatic driver updates again, follow the same operation to set its value to 0.

I aslo found this on the net but i have never tried that:-
